Aisling used an image of a sky woman, Spéirbhean, to describe the agony of Ireland under the English. Using a woman when speaking of Ireland is common, by example the poor old woman, An tSeanbhean Bhocht was the subject of a song of Irish rebellion.
I am using the form as I know it to express the pain of my adopted land Venezuela. As the Aisling form morphed into combinations of english and Irish, so I have used Spanish, english and Irish.
